I Own Soulz posted:So I had a flat tire and was driving on the donut. It says max of 50mph and I had a 50 mile commute so I didn't want to push it. I ended up in an area where the limit was 55 and traffic was 60-65. So I ended up putting my hazards on so I didn't piss people off who ended up behind me and could pass. Completely acceptable. The operating condition of your car was compromised and that alerts those around you to that fact. People turning them on in bad weather just lets everyone know that the operating condition of their brain is compromised.

Driving with them on in Florida rain makes sense. Have you guys never driven in a Florida rainshower? You can barely make out anything at all, but the flashing hazards (in addition to your taillights that should also be on) help.

How about driving 30 more feet and parking instead of holding the rest of us up with your blinker on waiting for a family of 8 to shamble into their poo poo wagon parked in the compact space? Why do people hate walking? You're at a mall, where you're going to walk around anyway. also gently caress lane change ninjas for making me hit my brakes

We already had this discussion, it's apparently still "dangerous", because the law says so. It annoys me when people say to "just pull over" because this can be dangerous too - sometimes it's even hard to make out the lane lines so you basically just stay behind the lights in front of you and hope you're getting it right. If someone is on the shoulder with their lights on there's a risk someone might drift over there and go off the road. Also who has time for that, as long as you do what everyone else is doing you'll be fine.

One time I was going 100 in a 55 and I just got a warning. Another time I rolled through a right turn at a red light, warning. Last week I was going 80 in a 45, with expired tags. Warning. I don't know why people hate cops, they are cool, patient, understanding dudes. Also, being white owns

rgocs posted:I'm confused. You get mad with people using their hazards incorrectly because it's dangerous and illegal. But you want people to disregard speed limits which could be dangerous and is illegal? Benefit of turning on your hazards so you think you can now safely drive in a hurricane: none Benefit of speeding: you take slack out of traffic and do your part in keeping everyone moving Negatives of turning on hazards: can no longer use turn signal, removes your ability to signal actual hazards, dilutes meaning of hazards to others Negatives of speeding: marginally increased chance of crashing if you are old or are driving a piece of poo poo or are stupid

Why do people hate walking? You're at a mall, where you're going to walk around anyway. I've started just parking far away without even looking for a closer spot. I don't even care about the walking, for me it's a question of time - if I'm faffing around waiting for the perfect spot when I could have just parked a 20 second walk away to begin with then gently caress it.

I Own Soulz posted:If you're a good enough driver you know what everyone is going to do before they even know and don't have to dangerously swerve through traffic That requires humans to be rational actors, which they aren't. You can't predict the movements of a non-rational actor, no matter how Mario Andretti you think you are. So that means that everyone else has to constantly be watching themselves around you, because you drive like you assume everyone will be paying attention and know to be careful around you. Until one day, someone is eating a burger and looking down bc their phone buzzed and it'll be too late for them to brake or whatever and you'll cause an accident because you thought they'd do X and they did Y instead. If you ever put yourself in a position where you are relying on other people to not crash into you, you're not a good driver. It means you're not in control of the situation. And to justify that by thinking you can predict everything so it doesn't matter is delusion. I mean look if someone is just being a slow gently caress then pass them but you made it sound like you're ripping past everyone else on the morning commute and changing lanes constantly.

If your car isn't damaged somehow or you don't need to make something known to other drivers that only you're aware of you shouldn't have your hazards on. If it's just bad weather and everyone has their hazards on because of it then you're all a bunch of morons. That's what the head/tail lights and fog lights are for. And then how do you signal that you're turning in any coherent way? It's like in the Philippines where sirens aren't illegal so half the cars have a siren on them during traffic and now sirens are meaningless there.

We loving get it, the by-the-books usage indication for hazard lights is what you and the sheep goat guy have been saying over and over, but if you'd ever been in the situation you'd know that sometimes, they can serve a non-traditional/strictly-legal purpose. Also floridians are much better drivers than the lunatics I had to deal with in california.

In a 70mph two lane road, right lane going at 65mph, passing lane going at 75mph. You wanting to go at 85mph expect the "autists" passing at 75mph to get out of your way and cram into the lane going at 65mph. As you pass, everyone else has to deal with changing to their original positions. How is this helping traffic for everyone other than yourself? Sheep-Goats posted:Negatives of speeding: marginally increased chance of crashing if you are old or are driving a piece of poo poo or are stupid Except you're making everyone else around you tense because you end up figuratively pushing people to the other lanes to make way for you. And most people that speed are not subtle about it, not everyone can handle the stress of having someone inches behind their car going at high speed. Edit: unless tailgaters fall into your "are stupid" category, then I may agree more with you. rgocs fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jul 28, 2016 |

Yeah, I thought our drivers were bad until I went to Salt Lake. The whole drive there and every state between Cali and Utah was full of the worst drivers I've ever seen. There were also people driving with their hazards on in the mountains and during light snowing in Utah.

It is obvious to me that your need4speed gets trumped by everyone else's safety and that as long as there are cars being passed a high enough speed differential, you're not getting through. Framing your speeding as a service to the community is a bit over the top. Like you should be getting medals instead of speeding tickets. Sheep-Goats posted:"Not everyone can handle the stress?"

I don't tailgate, I do pass the pacemakers doing 55-65 in a 65 while traffic flows at 80 in every other lane and in front of them. If traffic is flowing at 65 then I do 65 because you aren't going to pass 3-5 lane traffic doing a speed. Khorne fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jul 28, 2016 |

I get in the left lane and set cruise control to 5mph over the limit (so either 75 or 85) and stay the course. If someone wants to come up flashing their lights and honking, they can kindly place my dick in their mouth and pleasure me. I have no incentive to move and they're not going to hit me from behind. Besides, if they go faster then they're breaking the law by speeding and if I move over to enable then to speed, then I'm an accessory. I've had one dude freak out, lay on the horn, flip me off while speeding away, and then a few minutes later I pull up at a stoplight behind him. I honked as the light turned green. It felt good until we pulled into the same apartment complex. Now I exit on the other side of the complex.

Khorne posted:Speed limits are set artificially low. If this were not true you'd have a point. I agree about the speed limits being artificially low. However, in this scenario it's not really about the speed limit. If everyone else is going at their lane's constant speed, and one guy is speeding. The speeding guy is in the wrong and he is the one putting everyone else at risk. Framing it around the speed limit was just to avoid others going "hurr hurr if you can't handle the speed limit get off the highway". You added this: Khorne posted:I don't tailgate, I do pass the pacemakers doing 55-65 in a 65 while traffic flows at 80 in every other lane and in front of them. If traffic is flowing at 65 then I do 65 because you aren't going to pass 3-5 lane traffic doing a speed.  I'm fine with this, and I do quite the same. However, others in this thread have implied that no, even if all traffic is flowing at 65, everyone else is expected to get out of their way because THEY WANT TO GO FASTER!
